Chapter 324: Cliff Jumping
Because Gongsun Xi went to Chang'an was Sheng Weiqiao's meaning, she didn't even have time to use the barbecue that Rong Sleeping Crane handed to her mouth at this time, so she hurriedly asked: "What happened to Ah Xi?
Wu Da said in a deep voice: "The secret son of the Wuyi camp is in chaos because Chang'an is now in chaos, and everyone is in danger! In order to prevent his identity from being discovered by King Gaomi, he didn't dare to inquire very carefully, so he only took the opportunity to contact Ning Weihou, and learned that Ah Xi in order to find out the news, after completing the errand assigned by the princess of the county, he took a break in Ning Weihou's mansion, and ignored Ning Weihou's obstruction, and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace!"
"It's been several days now, and I haven't heard from you yet!"
"But ......"
She groaned for a while, looked at Rong Sleeping Crane before continuing, "Concubine Mo is gone, it is said that she was assassinated!"
"......" Sheng Weiqiao said in amazement, "I didn't ask him to assassinate the concubine!"
"It may not have been Ah Xi's doing. Rong Sleeping Crane put down the barbecue, patted the back of his wife's hand soothingly, took a handkerchief from the side, wiped the corners of his mouth and fingers, frowned and said, "Although I don't care about the life or death of the concubine at all, because of the current situation, the death of the concubine will definitely affect the overall situation, without my consent, he will not rashly do such a thing." ”
"What's more, what is King Gaomi's attitude towards us, you don't know. ”
"If Ah Xi did it, and he caught Ah Xi again, even if it was just a clue, he would have sent someone to come over to negotiate the conditions with us, and he would have let the Wuyi battalion's report take the lead?"
Sheng Weiqiao reminded him worriedly: "But they don't know that you are in Northern Xinjiang! If you think that you are in Western Xinjiang, after the messenger arrives in Western Xinjiang, Mr. Leyang and they will try to turn the news around...... With such a toss, it's not impossible for the people of the Wuyi Battalion to take the lead, right?"
"Can the secret letter say that the murderer of the concubine?" Rong Sleeping Crane raised his head and asked Wu Da.
Wu Da said: "It is said that it is the Meng family headed by the Empress Dowager, because King Gaomi revealed the truth that His Majesty had died and that Shanglin Yuan was only a stand-in, so he sent someone to assassinate the concubine as revenge!"
"Since this is the case, then even if Ah Xi falls into the hands of King Gaomi, there will be no danger for the time being. Rong Sleepy Crane nodded and said calmly, "Before, when the Gaomi royal couple came to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion and wanted to take me back to the palace, I took Ah Xi over alone. Therefore, everyone in the palace knows him, and they also know that I value him very much. Now the king of Gaomi may not have a place to turn to me for help, even if I get angry with Ah Xi and give him some hardship, it will certainly not harm his life, so that he can talk to me about the conditions. ”
"In that case, there's no need to rush. ”
He said slowly, "Before confirming Ah Xi's current situation, let's concentrate on the affairs of the Northern Frontier!"
Wu Da Boss looked at his calm appearance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, the reason why she ran over to report the news so eagerly was that she knew that Gongsun Xi and Rong Sleeping Crane had an unusual relationship, and she was worried that Rong Sleeping Crane would be in chaos because of this.
At this time, since Rong Sleeping Crane was calm, she was also relieved.
After all, she doesn't have much personal relationship with Gongsun Xi, and it would be best if such a colleague could be safe, but if there were three longs and two shorts, Wu Da really didn't feel any grief...... This is not her indifferent temperament, but the childlike attitude of a woman who was born as a bandit leader, is accustomed to life and death, and can't be a woman who can't stay at home.
It's just that she didn't notice that Rong Sleeping Crane said so, but the palm pressed on the table never moved away.
After Wu Da retired, he raised his hand and saw a bright palm print on the small table of the bat pattern engraved by the red sandalwood, and the finger marks were like finger marks.
"Since the people from the Wuyi Camp heard the news from the Ningwei Hou Mansion, Uncle Xu must have known about it as well. The couple looked at this palm print and were silent for a moment, the barbecue, vegetables, and fruits in the golden plate and jade plate in front of them still exuded an appetizing aroma, but where did they still have an appetite at the moment?
Sheng Weiqiao pursed his lips and smiled comfortingly, "Uncle Xu will never sit idly by, he has been the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and a group of guards under his hands, one is more capable than the other, like Xu Baomo, who fights small martial arts, and is also considered a strong martial artist among his peers......"
Speaking of this, I remembered that after Xu Baomo abandoned himself from the beginning, he was forced to come to the door again by the old marquis Xu and the old lady Xiahou, and Rong Sleeping Crane came forward to beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, and he had no power to fight back, and suddenly had huge doubts about the sentence "Xu Baomo's martial arts are strong".
But at this time, he still stubbornly continued, "But when I got to those guards, I was easily cleaned up again and again! Uncle Xu Shi also knew that Ah Xi had a relationship with us, and he would definitely try to do it." ”
Seeing that Rong Sleeping Crane was silent, she bit her lip, somewhat guilty, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have sent him to Chang'an." ”
"Good girl, don't think about it!" Rong Sleeping Crane quickly interrupted his thoughts when he heard this, and said, "I'm wondering what happened to Ah Xi in the palace, why didn't he deliver a message for so long, so that the people in the Wuyi camp became suspicious?"
Because during the period of chaos in Chang'an, Sheng Weiqiao happened to be in confinement, and Xuan Yu Feng stopped her from telling her a lot of news, for fear that she would worry too much and fall ill.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao only knows a rough idea of the situation in Chang'an so far, and he knows that King Gaomi raised an army and occupied Chang'an City, but in addition to wantonly killing the Meng clan and his henchmen, he has no intention of committing any crime against others.
Whether it is the Ningwei Hou Mansion or the Sheng Mansion, including the Empress Meng in the palace, these people that Sheng Weiqiao cares about are all lukewarm and have no intention of starting.
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but think that the queen and others had been living okay.
At this time, Rong Mianhe told his wife in detail about the situation in the palace: "Before the incident, Your Majesty took the Shu sisters and moved to Lin Yuan with the Empress Dowager. It is said that the queen was going to go with her, but because she heard that the Shu sisters would go together, she was afraid that the Shu sisters would take the opportunity to humiliate her, so she had a lot of trouble with the queen mother and stayed. ”
"In this way, after King Gaomi launched a mutiny, the more important people in the palace were the queen and Concubine Mo. ”
"Although King Gaomi didn't do anything to the queen, he didn't particularly care about her, so the huge palace city only asked someone to take care of Concubine Mo in the side hall of Xinshou Palace. ”
"As for Wangchun Palace, it is in a situation of self-destruction. ”
"Wangchun Palace is still like this, let alone other palaces. ”
"So Miyagi during this time was a mess...... In this case, it is said that Ah Xi should be like a fish in water in it! How can he not even deliver a message?"
Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have any other secrets in the palace?" ”
Rong Sleepy Crane narrowed his eyes and said, "Good girl, do you suspect that there is a secret son who has rebelled and cheated Ah Xi?"
"If the slackness of the palace at this time, it shouldn't make Ah Xi have no news as soon as he enters it, and Ah Xi will not be careless because he is like a fish in water. Sheng Weiqiao asked rhetorically, "Then it is very likely to be betrayed or framed." ”
"......" Rong Sleepy Crane pondered for a while and said, "According to what I know about Ah Xi, even if someone betrays him, it will be very difficult to wait for him. Because he wouldn't really trust anyone else except me! Even if the secret son in the palace was in charge of contacting him in the first place, he was always on guard against the secret son. ”
"And ......"
"That secret son really has no reason to betray Ah Xi. ”
"Because although Ah Xi is very important to me, to be honest, his weight is mainly emotional. ”
"In terms of the situation, he is not currently in an irreplaceable role. ”
"Calculating him, apart from provoking me, does not have much substantive effect on the blow to my forces. ”
"That dark man is enough to be a 'cunning old man', and he won't do such a stupid thing. ”
"......" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, thoughtfully, and after a while, his face changed, and he blurted out, "Could it be ...... Queen?!"
Rong Sleeping Crane let out a "hmm" and said, "Do you suspect that the queen hurt Ah Xi?"
"No......" Sheng Weiqiao was a little upset, and said, "The queen shouldn't be this kind of person who will take revenge! I'm worried that the queen is in trouble, and Ah Xi has gone wrong to help her or something?"
Rong Sleeping Crane was a little surprised, thought for a while and said, "Good girl, I don't think Ah Xi will be so nosy?"
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't bear Gongsun Xi's thoughts, and thought that he had been entrusted by Zhao Shi before, and asked Wu Da to send someone to catch up with Gongsun Xi, asking him to take the time to visit Zhao's Mansion after he arrived in Chang'an, and give Old Lady Qin a look, whether to marry Zhao Tao, although this matter was not explicitly stated, Gongsun Xi should also know it in his heart.
This person is loyal to Rong Sleeping Crane, it is said that even if he is a little touched by Queen Meng's admiration, for the sake of Rong Sleeping Crane's future, he will definitely choose to marry Zhao Taocheng, rather than with Meng Biyun, who has the identity of the queen and is the daughter of the Meng family?
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking?"
"I doubt Meng Guiyu. Rong Sleepy Crane nodded and said, "Ah Xi is like a brother to us, but he has not held an important position so far, even if he knows a lot of confidential things about us, but according to his character, even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, he would rather die than confess." ”
"If it's for the strike, let's attack him, it's a bit unreasonable. ”
"After all, I'm not the kind of person who can easily get carried away by anger!"
"Besides, King Gaomi still has the intention of borrowing my momentum at this time, and he shouldn't do such a thing that will anger me. ”
"If it's for the purpose of using Ah Xi to sow discord, it's easy to explain. ”
"No matter who harmed him, sooner or later, I will always avenge Ah Xi!"
"And King Gaomi needs to borrow your momentum at this time, even if he doesn't have any good intentions towards you, he won't rashly poison Ah Xi, but Meng Guiyu's words ......" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know much about Meng Guiyu's achievements these days, frowned, and asked, "Where is he escaping at this time?"
Rong Sleeping Crane said: "Not only did he escape, but he also rode the wind, and through the words of the Shu sisters, he has now been appointed by His Majesty as the new commander of the forbidden army, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who are loyal to the monarch are controlled......"
Sheng Weiqiao interrupted him in surprise: "He, the commander of the forbidden army, has he ever led soldiers?
"Isn't it the original commander who took refuge in King Gaomi?" Rong Sleeping Crane pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "The Tao family, who has been in charge of the forbidden army since the founding of the country, can be said to have deep roots in the forbidden army!
"Even the clansman of the Great Commander of the Forbidden Army surnamed Tao has someone who wants to block his blood-stained temple gate. ”
"But Your Majesty and the Shu sisters have been used to drinking for decades, where have they seen such a change, they are all frightened, and they don't dare to use the Tao family anymore!"
"And those in the Tao family who are unwilling to follow King Gaomi feel that they are at a loss and dare not argue. ”
"Meng Guiyu is a man again, knowing that he has no talent to fight at all, so he leads the official position of the commander, but he still uses the Tao family, and he will not be harsh on his subordinates when he asks for credit...... In the end, all the good people and the credit are his, and this position is not stable?"
When Rong Sleeping Crane said this, he sneered, "Ah Xi just hasn't sent news for a long time, and there have been occasional precedents at sea before, probably because he is in a situation where it is difficult to deliver news, or he is embarrassed and afraid of being detected...... Wait, he's not that easy to get into trouble!"
When he said this, Gongsun Xi was jumping off the cliff!
